Nigerian actor Yul Edochie continues to grieve the loss of his close friend and colleague, Alexx Ekubo, who passed away recently. In a series of emotional posts, Edochie expressed the unbearable pain of losing someone he described as a good friend and brother.
Yul Edochie's Emotional Tribute
Taking to social media, Edochie praised Ekubo for making the world a better place simply by being himself and lighting up every room with his positive charm. While acknowledging the grief, Yul emphasized that they also celebrated the great soul Alexx was as they bade him farewell.
In a heartfelt message on Twitter, Edochie shared what he believes Ekubo should have done differently. He wrote: "I've been cold since the news of Alex Ekubo's passing broke. Ikuku you no do us well oo, you no do us well at all. You should have privately informed some of your good friends that you were sick. We for come dey with you, everybody go off phone come. To spend time with you and give you strength. You never know, help could come from where you least expected. This style of blanking everyone till death, e no good oo Chief Ikuku. The pain you inflicted on us is terrible."
Public Reactions
The post sparked mixed reactions from netizens. Some defended Edochie, while others criticized him for his past actions. User ugochisolomon said: "Nigerians, especially women want to roast Yul at every slight opportunity. God abeg!" Another user, zarakiddiescollectibles, commented: "There's an atom of truth in what he said but then again the world was mean to Alex so I totally believe he did what was best for him. Rest on Alex."
However, some users pointed out that Edochie had unfollowed Ekubo on social media when the latter supported May Edochie during a public dispute. User tush__tush24 wrote: "But Yul you unfollowed Alex when he was alive!!! because he was publicly supporting May...after May posted that video fiam the following day you unfollowed Alex and the news trended! Make he con now inform you about his predicament as per say u be what?"
User queen_chingy added: "He died close to his close friends & family Yul. If he didn't inform you... then you people weren't close biko? don't angry me this evening. If friendship didn't dey e didn't dey. Rest on Alex."
On the other hand, some defended Edochie. User iam_bmodel said: "The same people that are frowning at the way Alex was bullied are in this comment section bullying Yul for a family issue that didn't have anything to do with them. It's well. When he dies now, nobody will agree he bullied him."
User andygrandeur remarked: "Social media was unfair to him at some point, he learnt from that experience. That is how honourable men roll."
